Social pedagogy is an approach to caring and supporting our young people which combines education and care, emphasising that caring and supporting young people is the shared responsibility of parents and society. A key principle is that the young person is in charge of his or her own life, and ADMAX staff work alongside them rather than dictating to them.
Social pedagogy is based on humanistic values stressing human dignity, mutual respect, trust, unconditional appreciation, and equality, to mention but a few. It is underpinned by a fundamental concept of children, young people and adults as equal human beings with rich and extraordinary potential and considers them competent, resourceful and active agents.
